INDICANT

See the outputs

Evidence is only useful if people can act on it.

Indicant turns diagnostic evidence into clear, audience-specific reports for senior leaders, governors, trustees and improvement teams.

A diagnostic should not end with a score. Indicant translates the same underlying evidence into different views so leaders can improve practice, governors can ask sharper questions and trustees can see patterns across schools.

Each report is generated from the school or trust's own diagnostic evidence. The full report keeps the detail, the executive dashboard makes priorities visible quickly, governance reports focus on strategic assurance, and the 90-day plan turns priorities into accountable action.

The examples below use illustrative sample data. They are designed to show the structure, clarity and decision-making value of the reports rather than represent any real school or trust.

Different audiences need different views of the same evidence.

Indicant turns the same underlying diagnostic evidence into reports designed for improvement, leadership assurance and governance. The examples below use illustrative sample data and show the style and structure of the outputs.
